Meet the head fish: Erin
Erin has been crafting for as long as she can remember. Her Dad is a photographer by hobby and her Mom makes scrapbooks with photos and any memories that can be saved (candy wrappers, receipts, ...). It's no wonder Erin took a liking to both activities. Scrapbook making became one of Erin's favorite things! She would stay up late cutting pictures and scraps, writing captions, and getting glue everywhere.
Even before her scrapbooking days, Erin made greeting cards for family and friends for any ocassion. Her Mom remembers one notecard that read "Don't worry, be happy." Oh, and yes, Mom did keep it in a scrapbook.
Paper is definitely Erin's favorite art medium. It comes in so many prints and textures, and can be transformed into anything!
Here are some of Erin's other favorite things:
Beverage: Hawaiian Sun passion orange - Yoga pose: matsyasana ("fish pose" <--coincidence!) - Adhesive: Craft glue dots - Footwear: flip flops - Fish: green spotted puffer (they look like they are smiling!) - Squash: kabocha - Egg: soft poached

the fish bowl.
A bowl. A fish. Three plant leaves. Ten pebble dots. And no water (or is the bowl completely full?).
So you wanna know about the fish bowl. At age five, each homemade card received an Erin seal of approval -- a random sticker from her sticker collection, because what five year old didn't have a sticker collection? She placed said sticker on the back of each card - a 'brand' just like the real card companies. Around this time, Erin received a calendar complete with activity stickers. Since it was a Girl Scouts calendar it had chore stickers, like 'take out the trash'. Her favorite one was that read 'Feed the Fish.' Once she ran out, she started drawing a fish bowl on the back of her cards. Finally, in 2006, after years of handmarking her cards, Erin created a Feed the Fish co logo stamp, which is what you see now on all Feed the Fish co products! Feed the Fish co has been part of local craft shows and gift shops since late 2011.
